Perfect Pucking Match

2023

Never fall in love with a client. One of the cardinal rules of matchmaking that I was positive I'd never break. That is until Nathan Wilder walked into Love Moore Matchmaking Agency, needing my help to find him the one. A tall order to ask since he was the most hated man in the NHL. Broody. Crude. Abrasive. The man was a six-foot-three walking red flag. Right off the bat, every fiber of my being told me he'd be trouble. He wasn't looking for love. It was all a PR stunt to clean up his image so he could keep playing for The Boston Guardians. But there was something in his sad, soulful eyes that just pulled me in, forcing me to agree to this whole charade. Little did I know that in my quest to find him love, I'd be the one falling head over heels for him. Not exactly very professional. Argh. I’m so screwed. How am I supposed to find Nate his perfect match when I want him to be mine? What can you expect from Perfect Pucking Match: \- Slow Burn \- Forbidden Romance \- Hockey Romance \- Hero Falls First \- Strong heroine \- And a whole lot of ANGST! Author note: Please be aware that Perfect Pucking Match is a slow burn. It takes Nate and Lottie a hot second to realize they were always meant for each other. But I promise you that the wait will be worth it because once these two finally get together, it’s…everything you wanted and more! I’m talking sizzling HOT fireworks here! Wink, wink. Happy Reading! xoxo Ivy \*Perfect Pucking Match is a hockey standalone romance with a guaranteed HEA. \*Recommended 18+ due to mature language and situations.

Power Play Rivals

2024

Never fall in love with a client. Just one of the many guidelines you must follow when you represent the best athletes in the game. The rule never bothered me. A pretty smile from a cocky player couldn’t do it for me anyway. As a no-nonsense sports agent, I've seen it all in this cutthroat world of athletic negotiations and powerplays. And say what you will about me, I know how to handle business. The only person who pretends I’m not a freaking badass is Trent Nichols, the infuriating, albeit sexy-as-all-hell, Boston Guardians general manager. With his dark eyes and even darker soul, Trent doesn’t bend to my will like the rest of them, which is a problem. Especially since one of my hockey players is under threat of suspension. That can’t happen. Not on my watch. If Trent wants to play hardball, I’m more than happy to give him a run for his money. I’ll show him what a real rival looks like. And who knows? Maybe I’ll have a little bit of fun too. While the first law of being a good agent is to never fall for a client, there’s no written rule that says I can’t mess around with their boss behind closed doors. What can you expect from Power Play Rivals: \- Enemies to Lovers \- Forbidden Romance \- Age Gap \- Hero Falls First \- Strong heroine \- And a whole lot of ANGST! Author note: Please be aware that Puckered Hearts is an interconnected standalone series. Though you do not need to read the first book in the series to start Power Play Rivals, for full enjoyment, it is highly recommended you do so, as there will be significant spoilers in this book. Also, unlike its predecessor, Power Play Rivals starts off HOT right from the get-go. And I mean scorching! \Wink Wink\ Happy Reading! xoxo Ivy \*Power Play Rivals is a hockey standalone romance with a guaranteed HEA. \*Recommended 18+ due to mature language and situations.

Penalty to the Heart

2024

Never fall in love with a client. I care deeply for all my patients, but falling in love with one was never a risk. My heart had closed up shop years ago. As the Boston Guardians' in-house therapist, I was perfectly content helping athletes deal with their pain and trauma, happy to see others thrive and overcome life's obstacles. I was content…until I wasn't. Everything changed when a devastating accident shattered the life of the club's star goalie—Caleb Donovan. I was tasked with saving him from his self-sabotaging ways and told to become his beacon of hope and savior in the darkness. How could I have ever predicted that as I delved deeper into the tangled mess of his fractured emotions, I'd find that his broken spirit mirrored mine? That his heart would call out my name in the dark, pulling me in? On the hard, paved road to healing, Caleb changed courses on me, preferring my ruin over his salvation. And now…my career, my reputation, and my very sanity are all in jeopardy. In a world where love can be the ultimate downfall, do I have the courage to risk it all for a glimpse of happiness, or will I succumb to the shadows of guilt and fear that threaten to consume us both? What can you expect from Penalty to the Heart: \- Forbidden Romance \- Reverse Age Gap \- Slow Burn \- Hero Falls First \- Strong heroine \- Tearjerker \- And a whole lot of ANGST! Author note: Please be aware that Puckered Hearts is an interconnected standalone series. Though you do not need to read the first two books in the series to start Penalty to the Heart for full enjoyment, it is highly recommended you do so, as there will be significant spoilers in this book. If you love your book boyfriends a little broken and love a good ugly cry, this book baby is definitely for you. Happy Reading! xoxo Ivy \*Penalty to the Heart is a hockey standalone romance with a guaranteed HEA. \*Recommended 18+ due to mature language and situations.
